After Jiang Wenyuan found out about Chu Xiu's identity, he really wanted to recruit Chu Xiu. He didn't simply want to make friends with him. Instead, he wanted to recruit Chu Xiu as his subordinate and make him work for him.
In all fairness, Jiang Wenyuan's subordinates were not weak. Over the years, he had relied on his identity as the King of Peace and Happiness, as well as his generosity and generosity, to recruit many martial artists as his followers. There were even great experts at the Unity of Heaven and Man Realm among them.
However, there wasn't anyone like Chu Xiu who could stand out among the younger generation.
An expert of the younger generation like Chu Xiu represented potential. If he were to be recruited, Chu Xiu's future achievements might not be inferior to those great experts who were one with the world. However, the price he would have to pay would be much lower.
Moreover, it wasn't just potential. It also represented the strength of Jiang Wenyuan's subordinates, the Prince of An Le Residence.
In addition to having a leader, any faction needed a powerhouse who could suppress the entire faction, a large number of capable core forces, and outstanding young disciples. Only then could it be considered a faction with unlimited potential.
Jiang Wenyuan was ambitious. Naturally, he was developing in this direction. Over the years, he had recruited many high-level martial artists. There were also quite a few mid-tier martial artists like Xiao Ting who had decent strength. However, he didn't have any outstanding young martial artists.
Most of the young elites on the Longhu List were from aristocratic families or large sects. They could maintain a good relationship with Jiang Wenyuan, but they definitely wouldn't be loyal to him.
Now that he had finally seen Chu Xiu and found out that he wasn't a disciple that had been nurtured by the Guanzhong Torture Room since he was young, Jiang Wenyuan naturally wanted to poach him.
In the past, Guan Siyu had dared to make him lose face. Today, he was going to poach Guan Siyu!
After Chu Xiu and Jiang Wenyuan took their seats, the other young elites on the seventh floor looked at Jiang Wenyuan in confusion. They didn't know why Jiang Wenyuan was giving Chu Xiu so much face.
It must be known that with Jiang Wenyuan's status, there were countless young talents that came and went to the Dragon Gathering Pavilion these days, but those that were able to receive Jiang Wenyuan's personal reception were as rare as phoenix feathers and qilin horns. What did Chu Xiu have to deserve such treatment from Jiang Wenyuan?
Even Bai Wuji's expression was gloomy. Even he didn't receive such treatment.
When he first arrived at the Dragon Gathering Pavilion, Jiang Wenyuan was very courteous and even personally welcomed him to the seventh floor. However, he didn't personally set up a banquet to receive him.
After a while, a group of maids brought out the wine and dishes. It had to be said that the wine and dishes made by the Dragon Gathering Pavilion were very attractive. It could be said that they looked, smelled, and tasted great. There was also a faint but powerful spiritual energy floating around them.
Jiang Wenyuan personally poured a cup of fragrant, amber wine for Chu Xiu and said with a smile, "In the wild mountains of West Chu, there was a rumor that some wild monkeys picked a hundred fruits in a tree hole to store food for the winter. However, if there was no lack of food for the winter, the monkeys would forget about the fruits they stored. Then the fruits in the tree hole would gradually ferment and become a hundred fruit wine, so it was called the Monkey Wine. Moreover, these wild monkeys don't know any treasures and will pick some rare spiritual fruits as if they were normal fruits. This causes the Monkey Wine to contain a shocking amount of medicinal energy. There were some cultivators who went to the wild mountains to pick herbs and accidentally found this Monkey Wine. After drinking it, they found that their cultivation base increased greatly. "
Chu Xiu said in a surprised voice, "This is the Monkey Wine you found in West Chu?"
Jiang Wenyuan shook his head and said, "This Monkey Wine is something that can only be found by chance, it is too coincidental. Moreover, there is only a small amount of medicinal energy in the Monkey Wine, but my Monkey Wine is made from precious spiritual herbs and spiritual fruits. Its medicinal energy is even stronger than the authentic Monkey Wine. If Chu doesn't believe me, you can have a taste."
Chu Xiu drank a mouthful of the wine in the cup. Instantly, he felt a wave of heat seeping into his body from the wine liquid. This cup of wine was actually more powerful than a Fifth Revolution Dan.
"It really is a treasure. Your highness' Dragon Gathering Pavilion truly lives up to its name." Chu Xiu gave a sigh of praise.
Jiang Wenyuan gave a proud smile and pointed at the dishes on the table as he said, "Chu, you should also have a taste of these dishes. There aren't many dishes on the seventh floor, but each one is a treasure. They must be personally approved by me before they can be served. For example, this' Return of the Phoenix's Nest 'is made from a snow ridge guinea fowl that has been fed with spirit herbs for more than three months. The phoenix nest below is also made from the bird's nest of the Golden Silk Snow Swallow in the extreme north of the Northern Swallow. "
Chu Xiu nodded and was not polite as he tasted the dishes one by one. Jiang Wenyuan really wasn't bragging, each one was a treasure.
After eating for a while, Jiang Wenyuan suddenly asked, "Chu is from the Blue Dragon Society. Why did you join the Guanzhong Torture Room in the end?"
Chu Xiu said indifferently, "A branch leader of the Blue Dragon Society wanted to use me as a tool. I naturally wouldn't be willing to be used, so I betrayed them and escaped. Coincidentally, I met the 'Guanzhong Hero' Chu Yuansheng who was being chased. I saved him in passing and was then recommended by Hero Chu to be a Patrol Envoy in Guanzhong."
Hearing Chu Xiu's words, Jiang Wenyuan's eyes immediately lit up. If this was the case, then it would be easier for him to recruit Chu Xiu.
Originally, he thought that it was Guan Siyu who saved Chu Xiu, or that he had personally recruited Chu Xiu to join the Guanzhong Torture Room. He didn't expect that it was Chu Xiu who saved Chu Yuansheng and 'accidentally' joined the Guanzhong Torture Room. There was no debt of gratitude between the two.
Jiang Wenyuan played with the wine glass in his hand and suddenly asked, "Chu, you've been in the Guanzhong Torture Room for a while now. What do you think of the Guanzhong Torture Room?"
Chu Xiu was a little confused as to why Jiang Wenyuan would ask him this. However, Chu Xiu naturally wouldn't say that the Guanzhong Torture Room looked harmonious and stable on the surface, but there were many contradictions on the inside. He only said in a low voice, "Under the leadership of Hallmaster Guan, the Guanzhong Torture Room established itself between the three countries and developed the Guanzhong Torture Room into such a prosperous place. Of course, it's a blessing for the warriors of my generation in the Guanzhong Torture Room. In other sects, disciples like me, who don't have a good background and don't have a good background, might be picked on and suppressed. However, in the Guanzhong Torture Room, everything is done according to the rules of merit. At least, it's fair. "
Jiang Wenyuan smiled and said, "What you said is the truth. Guan Siyu isn't good in other things, but she's very impartial. She doesn't even care about her own disciple. However, I feel that Chu, developing in the Guanzhong Torture Room isn't a good thing."
Chu Xiu raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why?"
Jiang Wenyuan lowered his voice and said in a low voice, "It's because the Guanzhong Torture Room is too fair. That's why talented young warriors like you don't have any preferential treatment. You should know that the younger a warrior is when they step into the next realm, the greater their potential in the future. For example, Chu, at your age, you need a large amount of resources and elixirs to cultivate. If you delay your efforts, you will be left behind by the young talents on the Longhu List. But no matter how great your potential is, the Guanzhong Disciplinary Hall still gives you a salary based on your position, and the amount is pitifully low. Young Friend Chu, you should have a deep understanding of this. "
Chu Xiu rubbed his head. They seemed to have vaguely guessed what Jiang Wenyuan meant. However, Chu Xiu still put on a puzzled expression and said, "You're slandering the Guanzhong Torture Room in front of me. What do you mean, Your Highness?"
Jiang Wenyuan snorted coldly and said, "I'm not slandering you. I'm just stating the truth.
I know Guan Siyu's character very well. No matter how outstanding your performance in the Guanzhong Torture Room is, you won't get any preferential treatment. He treats his disciple like this, let alone you.
Moreover, the development of the Guanzhong area is limited. It's in the middle of three countries. It's like walking on thin ice. It's fine when the three countries stop fighting. If the three countries continue to fight, what will the Guanzhong Torture Room do?
Chu, you're able to rank in the top 20 of the Longhu List at such a young age without relying on a sect. This is enough to prove your potential. As the saying goes, a good bird chooses a tree to nest in. You have to consider your own future. Don't waste your potential. "
Chu Xiu narrowed his eyes. Only now did he understand what Jiang Wenyuan meant. However, Chu Xiu didn't say it out loud. He only said in a low voice, "Your Highness, what do you mean?"
Jiang Wenyuan waved his hand and said in a low voice, "A straightforward person doesn't beat around the bush. Chu, you're able to represent the Guanzhong Torture Room to participate in the God Weapon Conference and meet me here. This is fate.
Since you're here at the Dragon Assembling Pavilion, you should have some understanding of me. I cherish talents the most, especially talents like you, Chu.
Now that I have retainers and consecrators, if Chu is willing to join me, then I, Chu, will be the third type of person. Although I won't be a consecrator, I'll be treated better than one. Furthermore, I won't have to fight every day like a retainer. I guarantee that my Prince's Residence of An Le will do our best to nurture you, Chu. Chu, what you can get will definitely be much better than what you can get in the Guanzhong Torture Room! "
Chu Xiu looked at Jiang Wenyuan with a slightly astonished gaze. He had not expected Jiang Wenyuan to be so direct, promising great benefits to recruit him on their first meeting.
Furthermore, Chu Xiu had to admit that what Jiang Wenyuan said made sense. The Guanzhong Torture Room was indeed in an awkward position. Whether it was externally or internally, there were many risks. It was only because of Chu Kuangge and Guan Siyu that it managed to achieve its current status.
In the original plot, the Guanzhong Torture Room had experienced several huge shocks. However, Chu Xiu didn't pay much attention to the details at that time, so he couldn't remember them now.
Jiang Wenyuan said that the Guanzhong Torture Room wouldn't give Chu Xiu any preferential treatment or resources. This might be a disadvantage to others, but it was exactly what Chu Xiu wanted.
Chu Xiu didn't need any preferential treatment at all. Back then, Chu Xiu chose the Guanzhong Torture Room because the Guanzhong Torture Room didn't care about one's background and could maintain absolute neutrality.
